Pray for Pastor Jin Tianming, Under House Arrest Since 2011

The pastor of a house church has been under house arrest since 2011 in China for refusing to join the Three-Self Church. Pastor Jin Tianming’s home is closely guarded by three government agents and he is given just two hours of personal time each day. His wife prohibited from leaving their home on Sundays. Authorities began harassing Pastor Jin and members of Shouwang Church in 2009. After the church building was closed, the congregation started meeting outside. Because of constant harassment, church members now meet in small groups in different houses. Please pray for Pastor Jin, his wife and their church as they continue to face threats and harassment.

I pray Your light would shine for many to see through these trials. Amen

Dear Heavenly Father, end Pastor Jin's house arrest and restore him to his church. As this church is divided I pray that it grows in each person's house. Stop the Chinese government from their crack downs. Blind them to the growth of the Church in China. I pray that those who guard Jin and his wife would see Christ and submit themselves to Him.
